Leelanau Township approved a road improvement resolution at its regular meeting Tuesday night to repair approximately 0.45 miles on Omena Point Road from W. Bay Shore Drive to Omena Heights Road.
The township will contract these improvements with Leelanau County Road Commission at a cost of no more than $200,000. Funding for the improvement project will come out of the township’s facilities fund, with supervisor Barbara Conley noting that the road commission has no room in its budget to allocate for the specific fix.
“I just want to reiterate that the justification for doing this is, one, it is something that we can actually do in one fell swoop,” said trustee Elizabeth Schwind at the meeting. “More importantly to me is that that road is used by more than just those residents, so that is a benefi t to the broader township folks than just Cherry Homes.”
